Add or remove www
The "www" prefix is the www. in front of a domain, like www.yourdomain.com versus yourdomain.com.
You can switch your site between the two variants entirely from the Templ Panel.
Adding or removing the "www" prefix from your domain is done in the Templ Panel.
Nothing needs to be changed in WP Admin - changing the address there will cause problems.
Once you have made the changes as described below, the WP Admin "Site URL" and "Home URL" are updated automatically.
How to add or remove www from your domain
Step 1: Add your domain in the variant you want to use going forward:
- To add www, add the domain with the www prefix (www.yourdomain.com).
- To remove www, add the domain without the www prefix (yourdomain.com).
Step 2: Change the website's domain to the new variant in the Templ Panel.
That's it. You have now updated your domain name. Search-replace from the old address to the new address happens automatically.
Requests to the old variant are automatically redirected (HTTP 301) to the new one, so existing links and bookmarks keep working.
